Posting fully remote jobs from Pinpoint requires a specific set up. This guide aims to help you with the set up of your Pinpoint and your Job so that you can make accurate fully-remote job postings.

Organisation Structure setup

To define a location in your organisation structure, you will need to provide (at a minimum) a name for the location and that location's city, state and country. The location defined in the organisation structure will show in the job description page generated by Pinpoint, so it is important that you give the location a clear name that accurately represents where you will be hiring.

For example, an organisation hires fully-remote workers across the United Kingdom. They have set up a location named United Kingdom, where the city is defined as London, the state is defined as Greater London and the country is defined as United Kingdom.

However, you may want to open this job to candidates across the whole of the United Kingdom. This is where Pinpoint's "Remote with Location Restrictions" field comes into use.

Remote with Location Restrictions field

This field allows you to define (for the purposes of external job board postings) where you are accepting candidates from.

To enable this on a job posting, you will need to set the workplace type as Remote.

This will reveal the Remote with Location Restrictions field further down in the New Job / Edit Job screen.

Here, you'll need to select Remote with Location Restrictions as Yes. Then in the boxes below, you'll need to define the location restrictions.

Restrict applicants to a specific town/city

If you want to restrict applicants to a specific town/city, you'll need to input values into the Town/City, County/State and Country fields. For example, if you wanted to restrict applicants to Miami, you would enter "Miami" as the value for Town/City, "Florida" as the value for County/State and "United States of America" for the Country.

Restrict applicants to a specific county/state

If you want to restrict applicants to a specific county/state, you'll need to input values into the County/State and Country fields. For example, if you wanted to restrict applicants to the state of Alaska, you would enter "Alaska" as the value for County/State and "United States of America" as the value for Country.

Restrict applicants to a specific country

If you want to restrict applicants to within a whole country only, you'll need to input values into the Country field. For example, if you wanted to restrict applicants to the country of France, you would enter "France" as the value for Country.

Why is this important? The remote with location restrictions field tells linked job boards (for example LinkedIn) where the job is actually going to be located, so that you can target candidates in that specific location.
